The Chinese diving team continues its golden streak! At the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Doha, 19-year-old Zheng Jiuyuan delivered a masterclass performance to claim the men’s 1m springboard title with a dominant 452.30 points – nearly 30 points ahead of silver medalist Jules Bouyer of France.
Social media exploded with clips of Zheng’s flawless dives, particularly his stunning forward 2½ somersaults with 2 twists that earned a whopping 86.40 points. Teammate Yan Siyu added to China’s medal haul with bronze, marking the team’s third gold of the championships.
But here’s the frustrating reality for millions of overseas Chinese fans: Most couldn’t watch the event live due to strict geo-blocking on Chinese sports platforms. ‘I kept getting ‘content not available in your region’ errors on CCTV-5’s app,’ complained Toronto-based student Linda Chen. ‘All I could see were 15-second clips on Douyin.’
This isn’t just about one competition. From CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala to hit dramas like ‘The Long Season’, content blackouts have become routine pain points for the 60-million strong Chinese diaspora. Even VPNs often fail against increasingly sophisticated geo-fencing technologies.
So how did diving fans outside China eventually watch Zheng’s golden moment? Many resorted to international broadcasters like NBC or Eurosport – if they carried the event at all. Others waited hours for fan-uploaded full recordings to surface on YouTube or Bilibili, often in blurry quality.
The irony? While Chinese athletes dominate global competitions, their performances remain hardest to watch for Chinese audiences abroad. As Weibo user @DivingFanatic put it: ‘We produce world champions, then lock their achievements behind digital walls.’
With the Paris Olympics approaching, this content accessibility gap will only grow more apparent. Shouldn’t medal-winning moments be shareable with all Chinese fans worldwide? How are you watching Chinese sports content overseas? Share your solutions in the comments!
